About the Doctor

Hello! I am Karla, your Integrative and Sports Nutritionist, and I am here to take your well-being to a higher level. My mission is to accompany you in developing your own concept of health, physical performance, and body confidence through nutritional education and lifestyle medicine. Personalized nutrition, coaching/psycho-nutrition, and the use of mindfulness will be the tools you acquire in the process to open awareness, shape your eating behaviors, habits, and a sustainable lifestyle. I mainly work with people interested in practicing physical activity and sports. Additionally, some patients may present digestive, neurometabolic, and hormonal health conditions (in men and women), so it is essential to carry out deeper, more specialized work. Why trust me? Through 1:1 consultation, I will accompany you in the process to regulate the digestive, hormonal, and nervous system through a scientific, integrative, and humanized method. In addition, if you practice sports regularly or competitively, I can help you improve your physical performance, prevent injuries, and chronic fatigue. My specialization in Sports Nutrition, my background in races, triathlons, and various sports disciplines gives me practical and applicable knowledge to provide you with a unique view of your needs. We focus on what really works. Imagine your day with more energy and fullness, less anxiety and guilt about your food, greater performance in all aspects. What won't you find here? Eating based on fads, generic and restrictive diets centered on rapid weight loss, prescriptions of medications or supplements without a basis, or magic solutions. My working method is based on accompanying you to know your body, discovering a different bodily and health experience according to your lifestyle, biological and cultural needs, without compromising your physical or mental well-being. How do we work? 1. We will explore your daily choices, knowledge, and beliefs about nutrition and a healthy lifestyle. This covers topics from eating to sleep, daily activity, and psycho-emotional and cognitive factors. 2. We prioritize covering your biological needs, personal preferences, personal context, learning your physical sensations of energy/fatigue, hunger/satiety, and nutritional deficiencies, in order to carry out a complete nutritional assessment. 3. You know your body better than anyone. Your feedback about changes, symptoms, improvements, and barriers of any kind is important. 4. We will work on your physical self-knowledge, experience, and realistic body image, and techniques to open awareness in such a way that the change your body and mind need is generated. 5. Your commitment will be the catalyst for change. We will work together to achieve your goals, and homework will be the basis for your achievements. Why with me? -With more than 9 years of experience in multidisciplinary teams and in Gastroenterology at the INNSZ. -I currently work collaboratively with triathlon and running teams, gastroenterologists, gynecologists, endocrinologists, psychiatrists, and psychotherapists. -My postgraduate degree in Spain, focused on the impact of diet and physical activity on mental health and other indicators, guarantees a solid scientific basis. -I am trained in mental health, psycho-nutrition, and person-centered medicine to address your well-being, physical and mental health. -I am currently getting certified in yoga and mindfulness to complement my holistic approach. The time to change is now. I invite you to take action and take the step toward a healthier and fuller life.
